Has Bloom Energy Corp. finally found a way to make green energy profitable without federal money propping them up? The makers of solid oxide fuel cells have been caught paying workers in Mexican pesos.
According to CBS, the company paid Mexican workers brought in with visitors’ visas the equivalent of $2.66 per hour. Never mind that people here on visitors’ visas are not allowed to legally work — and then the company goes and stiffs them for their work.
But sometimes justice does strike fair, as the company was found to be in violation of Fair Labor Standards Act and ordered to pay $31,922 in back wages.
